Leviticus 25:32

As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.

Berean Standard Bible

In The King James Version

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

In Context

31But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

33So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
